Stop guessing on streaming pitchers. The FanRanked StreamMachine projects every probable pitcher for the next week — not the season line, but this specific start: the ballpark's component factors split by the opposing lineup's handedness, the opponent's offense, his lefty/righty splits against that exact lineup mix, and how deep into games he actually pitches. Every start gets a Stream Score (~50 is a league-average start) and a win probability, tiered S through D. Slots teams haven't announced yet are projected from rotation order and clearly tagged — and unlike a weekly streamer article, the board rebuilds every hour.
The ten best-scoring starts of the next seven days — updated , straight from the live board.

That's a slice of the live board — the full free StreamMachine scores every probable starter for the week, with win probabilities, ownership, and (with a synced league) only the arms actually on your wire.
The dedicated two-start pitchers page ranks every arm lined up to pitch twice in the same Monday–Sunday fantasy week, with a separate Stream Score for each matchup and a combined projected week line. That's the honest way to evaluate a two-start week — a great start in Petco plus a Coors landmine is not "two starts of value." Target the arms whose both matchups grade out.
Every morning the engine locks in a Stream of the Day — the best projected start among pitchers rostered in under 50% of leagues — plus a Deep League Stream under 20%. Picks freeze before first pitch and get graded against the real box score, and the season-long record is published right on the board. No cherry-picking, no memory-holing the misses.
Pair the streamer rankings with the playoff schedule grid for week-level planning and player values for your league settings.
A streamer is a starting pitcher you pick up for one favorable start — a good matchup in a pitcher's park against a weak lineup — then drop. Streaming pitchers well is one of the biggest edges in weekly head-to-head leagues, and the StreamMachine exists to find those starts before your league does.
Each probable start is projected by the FanRanked matchup engine: the pitcher's rest-of-season baseline, the ballpark's component factors weighted by the opposing lineup's handedness, the opponent's offensive strength, his regressed lefty/righty split against that specific lineup, and his own innings-per-start workload. The method is backtested on 2,000+ real starts.
Two-start pitchers are starters scheduled to pitch twice in the same Monday–Sunday fantasy week — double the counting stats from one roster spot. The StreamMachine lists every probable start for the next seven days, so an arm lined up for two starts shows both matchups with a Stream Score for each; target pitchers whose BOTH starts score well, not just one.
A Stream Score of ~50 is a league-average start. Tier A (72+) is start-with-confidence territory, Tier S (90+) is an elite spot start, and anything in Tier D is a stay-away even if the name is familiar. The score is volume-aware — a short-outing opener or bulk arm can't score high on rates alone.
The board rebuilds hourly. Starts teams have announced show as confirmed; slots not yet announced are filled from each team's rotation order and tagged as projected, then upgrade automatically once the team announces.
Yes. The full streamer rankings, Stream Scores, win probabilities, and the daily Stream of the Day pick are free. FanRanked Pro adds your own league's free agents directly into the board via the League Hub, so you only see streamers you can actually add.
